Same Old

I haven’t written anything recently because
no matter which way one looks everything is getting too silly and stupid for
words.

The international economy makes
no sense even by the terms of magic ‘fiat’ currencies plus the usual smoke,
mirrors and skyhook accounting. The crooked politicians continue as always helping
the vested interests and global conglomerates call the tune. From banning
e-cigs to make money for big pharma through to creating diesel generator farms
to produce hideously expensive and polluting electricity to hide the deficiencies
of the green energy scam it’s all the same, a mix of rampant greed and
appalling stupidity. Until it gets so
bad that we get our ‘Egypt moment’ and our chance to sweep the lot of them away
I fear there isn’t much hope except to fiddle round the edges of the situation.
I wonder if our army will have the balls to step in on the side of the
population?

On the recent hot weather however I can’t
ignore one interesting statistic which came to light in – of all places – a BBC
quiz on heatwaves.

Apparently today is the 100 year
anniversary of the hottest temperature ever recorded on earth. Death Valley
California recorded a temperature of 56.7 degrees Centigrade (134 F) on July 10th
1913.

I have no doubt the alarmists will be
telling us in the next few days all about how we are getting cooked nowadays by
CO2 in the atmosphere. I guess in 1913 it must have been frictional heat from
all those western settlers’ wagon trains we used to watch on TV westerns.

About Me

I am fed up with being overtaxed and overcontrolled by an out of touch, self serving political elite.
I generally use the name Woodsy42 (the 42 being a reference to Douglas Adams, because I have the answer to life the universe and everything, and it's wrong!)
